Unite d Chinese Americans (UCA) 2022 Youth Survey United Chinese Americans (UCA) 2022 Youth Survey Dear UCA Community and Friends, We are conducting this survey to explore how our youth is doing today and assess their views across multiple topics. UCA will share the survey results during UCA’s Chinese American Convention and National Youth Convention, to be held from July 14 to July 16 in Washington, DC. UCA will then share it with the general public. Since there is no large scale multi-themed and general purpose survey targeting Chinese American youth, the significance of this survey is self-evident. We hope to get all the help from our youth, parents, educators and community leaders so that we can reach a minimum of 1,000 respondents in the coming weeks. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Max age limit: 30 yrs old Since this survey is intended to learn about youth, we kindly ask that participants only fill out this survey if they are between 12 - 30 yrs old. We
